But, what's big or what's little depends entirely on your perspective. Faye Pearson is a three-and-a-half-foot tall female scientist doing entomological research in the tallest trees on Vancouver Island, who is pit with a ragtag group of protesters against the might of a multinational logging corporation. The story of Faye and her struggle to function in a world not made for people her size is poignant and heart-warming. Whether she is lusting after her climbing partner, standing up to a conflicted logging boss, dressing down an insulting interviewee, nurturing a wayward child in the midst of an environmental standoff, or being carted off under the arm of a Mountie, you'll be unable to resist this amazing woman. There is a fall in Eriksson's novel, but also incredible moments of grace. Falling from Grace is a novel of no small achievement.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50393021415697,"sku":"CIN1897142463G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1897142463.jpg?v=1751314752"},{"product_id":"high-clear-bell-of-morning-book-ann-eriksson-9781771620239","title":"High Clear Bell of Morning","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHigh Clear Bell of Morning\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is the gripping tale of a father's love and the extent to which he will go to protect his daughter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRuby's life begins to unravel when she hears voices coming from her closet.
